Turning The TablesEP 11: 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger' with Felix RileyMy guest Felix Riley could be described as something of an enigma. A comedy writer, novelist, and entrepreneur, Felix, by his admission, was "angry from a young age with the injustices in the world".

Writing for comedians like Rory Bremner might have seemed on the surface a great career, but it was famine and feast, and...2020-02-2844 min
